In Person Event with Author/Photographer Candace Cochrane

 

[In-person]  6 pm Tuesday, November 7th

Author Talk: TautukKonik/Looking Back with photographer Candace Cochrane

Candace Cochrane first went to Newfoundland in 1967 to work in a children’s summer recreation program run by the Quebec-Labrador Foundation (QLF) on the Northern Peninsula. The landscape and its people inspired her to develop her photography skills in order to document her experiences. 

Cochran will talk about the making of a collaborative portrait of Inuit life in photographs and stories from northern Labrador. This presentation will include discussion of the collaborative process between Indigenous and non-Indigenous authors, repatriating photographs to their source communities, and the shape-shifting character of photography itself.

Guinevere Turner’s memoir vividly recalls her unconventional upbringing in the Lyman Family cult. The isolated, hierarchical cult (made up of a network nation-wide of communes, including one on Martha's Vineyard) was led by the charismatic “Lord” Mel Lyman, who preached about the dangers of everyone outside their community, and an impending apocalypse. Slowly, Turner comes to understand the depth of the Family’s deception, and eventually embarks on a journey away from the cult and toward a successful screenwriting career (American Psycho, The Notorious Bettie Page, and most recently, Charlie Says). Request the book through CLAMS here Registration required, please email vhpl_programs@clamsnet.org for the Zoom invite. This program is sponsored by the Martha’s Vineyard Library Association.
